The intent of this presentation is to share with self-advocates, family members, and system providers, how, through a youth's voice, a family can support their youth's strengths and goals through a complicated and often misunderstood dual diagnosis like autism and mood disorder. Along with resources, this presentation will demonstrate how the youth and family continue to navigate systems, coordinate service providers to meet the goals and needs of the youth and family, and continually build their support systems.
